Hey Y'all!
Well its been a few days, ok so more then just a few since I last blogged or danced. I know I know. Life gets in the way sometimes. Unfortunately. And I'm learning to not let it. To be honest I was really sick last week almost like the flu, I was on my butt (literally) whenever I had the chance. Zumba was the last thing on my mind. Thinking about that, us mom's or stay at home mom's or part time stay at home mom's, we have SO much depending on us. Cleaning, bills, schedules', pick up's, drop off's, cooking, laundy, the list goes on. I am in NO WAY complaining what so ever btw. Starting this journey of health I've realised that I've put my life, my health and ME on hold for SO long. Kind of sad really. I don't think I'm the only one either when I say that. So starting a journey of health and fitness to get me to my ultimate best, its like adding another item to the list. I BIG item. That's where I'm struggling with it. Yeah, I know most of you say well you only have ayden in the mornings, so do it then. This is true, but I also have drop off and pick up for hubby (the joys of one vehicle!) and regular chores that I have. Ok really Krystle enough excuses. Seriously. With that said I am proud (yes, PROUD :P) to say that as soon as the girls and hubby walked out the door I strapped on my belt got my water and danced away. It was THE best dance session. I was finally getting the groove of it, not feeling bad. I felt strong. I had the sense of "you go girl". When I was done, my short 20 minute beginner workout, I was drenched! I felt accomplished that I really put it all into it. I really wanted to do more.
The funny thing is, well not funny really, for the first 10 minutes Ayden cried and stood in the corner. I stopped for a second, thought to myself, now how am I going to do this?! Well, I picked him up, sat him with his pillow, his blanket and milk on the couch beside me and told him mommy was going to shake her booty and not to cry. I turned around, got back up and kept on dancing. The old me ,would have said "ah screw it! I'll do it later" and never would have got around to doing it. I also told my husband that I was clearing out the cabinets and fridge wednesday before I go grocery shopping. Anything that is "bad for you" is out! Mind you I have 4 monkeys who all have a sweet tooth, so their snacks and treats will stay but to a minimal. I don't want to have the temptation there! If its not here, I won't eat it. And by no means am I denying myself of anything, gosh no! If i'm craving chooolate or a pepsi, I will walk to the store across the street and buy a single serving. I have trouble with just having a "piece" or a "tiny portion" knowing that there's a whole roll of yummy ritz crackers in the cabinet that would go so well with some cheese! Does that make sense? I need to start eating MEALS instead of quick snack on the go. As busy mom's I know SOME of you do the same thing. If not all. We're SO busy with everyone else that we forget to eat, or we just grab something on the go. So my promise to myself, is to eat well, live strong, and enjoy life to the fullest.
P.S I took before pictures and measurements this morning as well. I will re-measure and picture again in 4 weeks. I'm not sure if I will be posting JUST yet.
Much love,
Krystle
